This pair of videos engage two distinct points of view on two very different insects: an inchworm and a moth. The inchworm performs what appears to be a thorough investigation of a coffee cup: walking along the rim, reaching over the edges, and leaving threads that straddle the cup's rim. It takes the entire length of the video to finally lose interest(?) in the cup and inch out of frame. The moth is a brief encounter, slowed down and drawn out to produce an uncanny shift in status of the creature: at first one sees a blurry, pulsing movement, then gradually it starts to take shape as it emerges from the night sky and toward the camera light. The viewer is given a rational overview in the one instance, and a frightfully close visit with the other. We are interested in the perceptual shifts between the creatures, the camera, and ourselves – properties that can and cannot be shared. The title is taken from Lisa Roberston's essay Perspectors/Melancholia which accompanied the first exhibition of this work.
